Best Attorney

Mr. Barens office represented me a criminal matter for which I was very worried that I would be given prison time, but he fought hard on my case and got the charges dropped! I owe Mr. Barens' law firm my second chance at life! I have continued to live my life as a law abiding citizen. I returned to... him for my auto accident cases and referred my family too! Thank you Mr. Barens for always being there for me and my family!!

Poor Professionalism & Communication

have been working with this firm since April on my injury case and am appalled at their lack of communication and care. His paralegal, Gina Curtis, neglected to respond to me in a timely manner throughout the 7 months working with them. She would make me call to make appointments and towards the end... left me in the dark about the case's status, next steps and seeking acupuncture care. It was an overall frustrating process on top of a painful injury, which made me feel alone and not in good hands. Do not recommend whatsoever for those that desire timely and professional communication and service.

Thank you for taking the time to write this note, and for pointing out these issues. We work hard to give all of our clients a great experience, and we want to keep improving. I’ve talked with our support staff and unfortunately as we all know 2020 was a very difficult year and working remotely at times due to pandemic restrictions was not the best. I understand your frustration resulted from the medical facility not responding to you and scheduling your appointments. I further understand Ms. Cuartas being somewhat backlogged as it was during this time that her mother was hospitalized and on a ventilator due to Covid. Thankfully her mother survived and is improving everyday. Ms. Cuartas has been part of my legal team for well over 26 years and has always gone above and beyond for our clients. Once again, we are sorry for your frustration and we hope you’ll consider us again in the future, and if we can deliver the excellent experience we strive for, we hope you’ll consider updating your review.

Don't employ him

We hired him to represent us in court in a child custody case. He took our money and dismissed himself from the case the day of the court date. As a result, we had no legal representation at the hearing and the other party had an attorney. The judge would only talk to the other attorney. We lost t...he opportunity to increase visitation with my grandchild, we were better off before employing Barens.

We are sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience, and although we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention, we were unable to locate any child custody case in your name for further review and discussion with our legal team. We strive to make every client’s experience great, and we appreciate you pointing out this issue.

Highly Recommended

Arthur Barens and Joe Hariton are wonderful attorneys. They were always knowledgeable, helpful, thorough and very professional. They are very busy so sometimes throughout the long process it did take the office a little longer to get back to me. However anytime there was important or new information ...regarding my case I was informed immediately. A special acknowledgment of Gina ( paralegal) is in order, she was so nice, helpful and great at her job. Even though I'm sure I was just one of the many clients she talked to that day, I always felt valued and never rushed. Lastly I could not be more satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend them. Thank you law offices of Arthur Barens, you are amazing!

WARNING, Stay far away from this law office!!!

I thought this lawyer would help me in the DUI case that I was going to court for. His office was situated in Century City and he seemed very knowledgeable when I went over the events that occurred that night. He said he would personally take on the DMV court hearing and appear in court for me to def...end me. Well, neither of those things happened. He assured me everything would be ok. I ended up getting the exact same fines that I would have without him. He never called me back when I called to ask for help. He simply rang me up for whatever he could get out of me and moved on. I recommend you move on as well unless you enjoy wasting your money...
